LaCie Unveils Rugged SSD Pro5 with Thunderbolt 5 Speeds
Durability or speed? With the Rugged SSD Pro5, LaCie challenges the notion that you have to choose. Announced at CES 2025, this new line of rugged drives combines high-speed performance with the brand’s signature tough design.
The Rugged SSD Pro5 offers read speeds of up to 6,700MB/s and write speeds of up to 5,300MB/s, provided you’re using a Thunderbolt 5-compatible device. While not the fastest SSDs available, they lead the pack in rugged designs, capable of enduring harsh environments without compromising performance.
These drives are designed to handle it all, featuring a three-meter drop resistance and an IP68 rating for dust and water protection. LaCie’s five-year limited warranty and Rescue Data Recovery Services (available in select regions) further ensure the safety of your data, making these drives perfect for professionals working in challenging settings like filmmakers, photographers, and audio specialists.
The Rugged SSD Pro5 series is expected to hit shelves in January, with prices set at $400 for the 2TB model and $600 for the 4TB option. If you need a drive that’s both tough and fast, LaCie’s latest might just fit the bill.
